I don't know why your friend would be making predictions for the fall now. But as it stands, things look very, very bad for McCain. Polling shows Obama up against McCain in general popular vote by more than 2 points. But in terms of electoral collage he is up between 30 and 100 points.

MZ: New York. Barr.

What is a "Barr." is that shortform for somebody?

It is way too early to predict the November 2008 election, but McCain better hope the economy does not get much worse. It is not his fault that it is tanking but voters have a tendency to be pretty naive and uneducated about economic issues. They invariably blame the incumbent party for economic woes (remember 1992?).

Thanks Caslon4000. Not a great resume for a candidate. It is nice to know that Americans have more than two choices though. In the last Federal Canadian election, I had a choice of 8 candidates I believe.

Four were serious vote getters (Conservative, Liberal, New Democratic Party, Green) and four were less so (e.g. Natural Law Party, Communists, Marijuana Party). We used to have a Rhinoceros party that was a hoot. Sadly I think they have now folded (the founder died I believe).

The Rhinoceros party may be defunct, but the NeoRhino party has taken its place!
